Mark 9: 33-37
 
Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”
 
 
We’re number one! We’re number one!
We are the favorite of God’s Son!
He likes us so much more than you
you’ll see it before we are through.
 
Seems silly when we look back at them
build up selves while other condemned.
Yet it’s a big temptation today
bragging when we should humbly pray.
 
If we would be great we must serve
others without an ounce of reserve
welcoming them like we would a child
with treatment that is very mild.
 
When we share love with one another
we show love to Jesus, our brother.
For the God who gave Jesus to us
wants us to follow with the fuss.

Oh Larry my friend, If I am lucky and meet Him will ask about we being number one, but I am afraid that He wouldn't agree with us, would he?
